After finishing the last one, I decided to do another spaceship. This time I wanted to model something that could have a couple of different versions when I move around the wings and some of the other parts.

So I absolutely forgot about posting in this blog. I still plan to actually write down some stuff.

Well, anyway here's something I'm working on in my free time.

After uploading some quick sculpts from last year (I'll upload more of them as well) I decided to make a new one. Again based on a concept by Roman Semenenko.

I love doing them as they are a great exercise.

Hey,

So I finished this sculpt and I'll not be coloring it, at least for now.

To be honest I got bored with it a bit towards the end. 

Also, my recording files got corrupted so I wasn't able to do a timelapse.

Hey,

I did these last year to practice sculpting.

They're based on sketches by Roman Semenenko. They're all quick sculpts and I have to say that I learned quite a lot doing them. I also had a lot of fun. 

I have some more of these that I'll post and maybe I'll do more of them as well.

  

  

  

A fun little guy I made from a concept which for some reason I can't find anywhere right now.

I wanted to share this bust of a stylized girl I did during my summer vacation two weeks ago.

It's the first female character I've done and I honestly learned a ton.

I had to look at a ton of references and I tried many things I was avoiding for a while in ZBrush.

For example, the hair is usually pretty hard for me, but this time I used an IMM brush by Michael Dunnam.

I tried to keep a relatively good topology, even tho I didn't really end up posing her.

It was also the first time I used Zbrush's GOZ plugin for exporting it to Blender and rendering it there.

Here's the sculpt without polypaint:
  

I'm still very far from where I want to be with sculpting characters, but I'm getting the hang of it.

I'm still refining the shapes. 

It was a very tiring end to the week. Even though I'm trying to sculpt every day, I had to just open Zbrush and sculpt for about 5 minutes some days, simply to keep my habit going. it was something I picked up from reading James Clear's book "Atomic Habits".

All things considered, I'm happy that I'm doing this on top of all my other work. it's refreshing and I feel that If I keep at it for a long while, I'm going to improve a lot. Posting here will definitely help, as well.

This is the latest personal project I've started.
 It's obviously inspired by Star Wars. I even looked at some concept art. I started doing this while watching a tutorial by Jama Jurabaev on creating quick environments. 

I plan to spend a bit more time on this, even though it's still going to be done late in the evenings after work. I think I'll try to make it like a space Tatooine-like market. 

For the time being, I just have these objects. I'll kitbash some machines and add diversity to the buildings - maybe other colors, some details, depending on how important they are to the composition.

If I keep enjoying working on this, I may do a shot with a robot seller on a street or something like this. I'm not sure where exactly it's going but I'm having fun.
